Members Pilot Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 Just bought a J. Michael SP650 soprano. Cheap and cheerful but solidly built and plays very well. Comes with both straight and curved necks. Interestingly it has a high G key as well as a high F#. Only other soprano I've seen that on is a Cannonball. Never seen it in any fingering charts either. As a clarinet player I find myself playing the soprano more than the alto. Not surprising really. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Feral Cat Posted April 26, 2008 Members Share Posted April 26, 2008 Straight or curved? And where is the G key located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lambros Posted April 26, 2008 Members Share Posted April 26, 2008 Enjoy it, man! That is perhaps one of the more interesting doubling sitautions; smooth mellowness of the clarinet, juxtaposed with the brighter, and louder soprano sax even at moderate levels. I've played a Selmer Serie III with the high G and I guess it would be more expensive to make on a horn that has a one piece body that I prefer. I could never get into the detachable neck thing, Lord knows I've tried... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pilot Posted April 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2008 Here's a couple of pics of the new sax. They split the high F# key into two and the upper half is high G with the lower half is high F#. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
